* Postdoctoral Positions in cryo-electron microscopy and electron crystallography Cleveland Center for Membrane and Structural Biology (CCMSB) and the Department of Pharmacology at Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) invites applications for Postdoctoral Positions in cryo-electron microscopy/tomography and electron crystallography to lead world-class research.
Our team is involved in studying a variety of biological systems by electron microscopy, electron crystallography, and tomography and has several open positions for interested candidates. Our focus is on the structure and function of membrane proteins and large macromolecular complexes. Special interests are telomeres, TRP channels, 2PK channels, cyclicnucleotide-gated channels and aquaporins. We are seeking scientist with a background in either: 1) biochemistry and cell biology, preferably with experience in cryo-electron microscopy or conventional electron microscopy preparation techniques (chemical fixation, high-pressure freezing and freeze substitution). 2) engineering and/or computer science to develop image processing algorithms for single particle cryo-EM applications, electron tomography, and 2D crystallography. 3) Experience in 3D crystallography is a plus as well. The lab is equipped with an FEI Tecnai F20 and Tecnai 12 electron microscopes. All positions are funded for several years. If you are interested, or for further information, please contact: Andreas Engel ([email protected]), Vera Moiseenkova-Bell ([email protected]) or Derek Taylor ([email protected]).
